AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1053 AM EDT FRI JUN 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE SLIDING ACROSS THE AREA
FROM THE WEST WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO
THIS MORNING. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON BRINGING MORE IN THE WAY OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
STORMS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN TO THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND
BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1045 AM EDT FRIDAY...

LAST BIT SHOWERS FROM OVERNIGHT WAS MOVING THROUGH THE ALLEGHANY
HIGHLANDS. NO CHANGES TO THE AFTERNOON FORECAST.

AS OF 330 AM EDT FRIDAY...

CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION CONTINUE TO LINGER EARLY THIS MORNING
ASSOCIATED WITH LEFTOVER INSTABILITY PER 500-1000 J/KG MUCAPES AND
DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE UNDER A PASSING WEAK 5H VORT LOBE. MODELS
GRNLY HAVING A TOUGH TIME DEPICTING THIS ACTIVITY ATTM WITH MOST
SHOWING THINGS DRYING UP BY DAYBREAK WHICH APPEARS TOO QUICK. THUS
WILL INIT WITH LINGERING CHANCE POPS ESPCLY WEST AND MORE CLOUDS
GIVEN CANOPY OFF LATEST IR PICS. OTRW NOT A LOT OF CHANGE TO THE
GOING FCST TODAY WITH THE UPSTREAM COLD FRONT PROGGED TO DIVE SE TO
NEAR THE WESTERN SLOPES BY MIDDAY BEFORE BASICALLY JUMPING EAST TO
THE RESIDUAL PIEDMONT LEE TROF THIS AFTERNOON. GUIDANCE SHOWING BEST
UVV AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE FAR WEST AND BLUE RIDGE
INITIALLY...LIKELY WHERE THE CURRENT COVERAGE FADES...THEN MORE SO PIEDMONT
AND POINTS EAST LATER ON WHERE BEST INSTABILITY AND THETA-E WILL
RESIDE. JUST HOW ORGANIZED BANDS OF TSRA BECOME A BIT IFFY AS THE
LOW LEVEL FLOW ALOFT TURNS WESTERLY WHILE WINDS ALOFT NOT ALL THAT
IMPRESSIVE FOR SVR EXCEPT EAST WHERE SEEING MORE DRY AIR ALOFT.
ALSO BEST SUPPORT WITH THE 5H TROF REMAINS TO THE NORTH WHILE
INSTABILITY KEY GIVEN EARLY CLOUDS WEST. THUS PLAN TO KEEP LIKELY
POPS GOING FOR THE MOST PART WESTERN HALF DESPITE PROGGED WEAKER
INSTABILITY AND CHANCE SE WHERE OUTSIDE OF EARLY PULSE
STORMS...THE MAIN AXIS MAY BE SLOW TO ARRIVE UNTIL LATE. HIGH
TEMPS SHOULD BE A LITTLE COOLER ESPCLY WEST WHILE COULD STILL SOAR
WELL INTO THE 90S PIEDMONT IF THE FRONT IS EVEN SLOWER. DID LOWER
HIGHS A LITTLE WEST GIVEN A CLOUDY START AND EARLIER CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL. OTRW FOLLOWING MORE IN LINE WITH THE MET VALUES
OUTSIDE OF THE FAR SE WHERE THE WARMER MAV LIKELY BETTER.

FRONT SLIDES TO THE EAST THIS EVENING TAKING DEEP MOISTURE OUT OF
THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT IF NOT SOONER. MAY NEED A PERIOD OF LIKELY
POPS EAST PENDING AFTERNOON TRENDS OTRW HIGH CHANCE COVERAGE INTO
THE EVENING TAPERING FROM WEST TO EAST BY MIDNIGHT. GRADUAL
FILTERING OF DRY AIR IN FROM THE NW SHOULD ACT TO PRODUCE SLOW
CLEARING OVERNIGHT WITH ONLY SOME LEFTOVER PATCHY FOG PER RESIDUAL
MOISTURE. SHOULD BE A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE ESPCLY MOUNTAINS
REGARDING LOWS AS THE 85H FRONT LOOKS TO CROSS THE REGION ALLOWING
PERHAPS SOME 50S IN THE VALLEYS...WHILE THE EAST STAYS WARM/MUGGY
WITH TEMPS IN THE MID/UPR 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM EDT FRIDAY...

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST OF OUR AREA AND STALL ACROSS THE
CAROLINAS. HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BUILD SOUTH
INTO OUR REGION BEHIND THE FRONT. DRIER AND LESS HUMID AIR WILL
PUSH INTO OUR REGION. HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL RANGE FROM
AROUND 80 IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE LOWER 90S IN THE SOUTHEAST.
AS THE HIGH MOVES EAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...THERE IS ENOUGH
LOW LEVEL SOUTHEAST FLOW AND INSTABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE LIGHT
PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE. LOW TEMPERATURES SATURDAY NIGHT WILL VARY FROM
THE UPPER 50S IN THE WEST TO THE MID 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST.
BLEND MOS FOR HIGHS ON SUNDAY WITH READINGS FROM THE UPPER 70S IN
THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 90 DEGREES IN THE PIEDMONT. PLAYED LOWS
SUNDAY NIGHT WARMER THAN SATURDAY NIGHT...FROM AROUND 60 IN THE
MOUNTAINS TO THE UPPER 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM EDT THURSDAY...

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT DRAGGING WEAK FRONT THROUGH THE
APPALACHIAN REGION ON MONDAY AS THE NE US TROUGH DEEPENS IN
RESPONSE TO OVERALL AMPLIFYING LONG WAVE PATTERN ACROSS NORTH
AMERICA...WITH VERY STRONG RIDGE NEAR ROCKIES AND WESTERN PLAINS
STATES. TRENDED POPS UPWARD FROM SLIGHT CHC INTO THE LOW CHC
CATEGORY FOR MONDAY. AS THE TROUGH DEEPENS OVER THE NE US...THIS
SHOULD BRING IN SOMEWHAT COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS FOR MUCH OF THE
REST OF THE WEEK...WITH SOME SIGNS OF THE PATTERN BREAKING DOWN
SLOWLY TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK. AS THE CENTRAL US RIDGE
FLATTENS AND NE US TROUGH LIFTS AND WEAKENS SOMEWHAT...THIS COULD
ALLOW SOME MOISTURE RETURN OR THE POSSIBILITY OF THE REMNANTS OF
ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS WELL TO SNEAK INTO THE WEST SLOPES OF
APPALACHIANS IN NW FLOW...PERHAPS AS EARLY AS NEXT THURSDAY. GFS
IS FASTER TO LIFT THIS TROUGH OUT SO LEANS MORE TOWARD THE RETURN
MSTR IDEA WITH W OR SW FLOW...WHILE ECMWF HAS MORE NW FLOW BUT
INDICATES A PRETTY GOOD S/WV HEADED TOWARDS US THURSDAY. THIS HAVE
PUT IN A SLIGHT CHC POP STARTING WED NIGHT AND INTO THURS.

FINALLY...KEEPING AN EYE ON POTENTIAL TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE
GULF...AND MODELS OF COURSE HAVE A VARIETY IDEAS ABOUT HOW STRONGLY
THIS WILL DEVELOP AND WHERE IT WILL ULTIMATELY TRACK. CONSENSUS IS
THAT THIS WILL REMAIN TO OUR SOUTHEAST AS IT TRACKS ACROSS FLORIDA
AND OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC...BUT SOME SOLNS SUGGEST STRONGER
DEVELOPMENT IN THE GULF AND IMPACTING TX TO LA COASTLINES...WHICH
COULD MEAN EVENTUALLY SOME OF THIS MOISTURE GETS INTO APPALACHIAN
REGION...BUT THIS WOULD LIKELY BE BEYOND DAY 7...AND WOULD ALSO
DEPEND ON SOME PROGRESSION OF THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN BY THEN.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 635 AM EDT FRIDAY...

SCATTERED CONVECTION CONTINUES OVER THE NW ATTM WITH MORE
ISOLATED NATURE COVERAGE ELSW OVER THE MOUNTAINS. EXPECT SOME OF
THIS TO LINGER INTO MID MORNING WITH SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLY AFFECTING
KLWB/KBLF FOR THE MOST PART WHERE BRIEF MVFR/IFR IN RAIN
POSSIBLE. OTRW STILL LOOKING FOR A GRADUAL EROSION OF THE CURRENT
MID/LOW CLOUDS WITH THIS CANOPY MIXING OUT TO A BKN CU FIELD OVER
THE MOUNTAINS BY MIDDAY...AND SCTD-BKN CU OUT EAST. THIS SHOULD
ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF VFR WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THIS MORNING ONCE
PATCHY MVFR/IFR FOG FADES AND MAINLY VFR OUT EAST THRU EARLY OR
MID AFTERNOON.

STILL A BIT UNCERTAIN AS TO TIMING AND EXACT LOCATION OF RENEWED
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NW.
MOST LATEST GUIDANCE TRENDING TOWARD ADDED SCTD COVERAGE ALONG THE
BLUE RIDGE WITH A SECONDARY AREA AFFECTING THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS
EARLY ON BEFORE THE MAJORITY OF THE SHRA/TSRA JUMP TOWARD
KDAN/KLYH AND POINTS EAST LATE.

THEREFORE KEPT SHRA IN THE TAF WITH VCTS AT ALL SITES BY EARLY
AFTERNOON...THEN DIMINISHING TO MORE SHRA NATURE BEHIND THE FRONT
BY THIS EVENING. EXPECT MOST RAINFALL TO TAPER DURING THE
EVENING...WITH MVFR FOG FORMATION LIKELY AFTER SUNSET GIVEN
MOISTURE AROUND AND CLEARING SKIES. HOWEVER WESTERLY WINDS WILL
LIKELY CAUSE LOW CLOUDS TO BANK UP AGAINST THE WESTERN SLOPES
RESULTING IN MVFR CONDITIONS AT KBLF AND/OR IFR IN FOG/LOW CLOUDS
AT KLWB LATE TONIGHT AS WELL. ELSW THINKING MAINLY VFR AFTER
MIDNIGHT WITH A RETURN OF MVFR IN FOG ACROSS THE EAST BY DAYBREAK
SATURDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.
LATE NIGHT MOUNTAIN AND VALLEY FOG IS EXPECTED.

ANOTHER FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON MONDAY. EXPECT A RETURN
OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. VFR THEN RETURNS UNDER HIGH
PRESSURE ON TUESDAY.
